ZZ Top is an American blues rock band, formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. The band members are Billy Gibbons (vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (bass guitar and vocals), and Frank Beard (drums). They hold the distinction of being one of the few rock bands still comprising its original members for over 40 years, and until 2006, with the same manager/producer, Bill Ham.  They reached the peak of their commercial success in the 1970s and 1980s, scoring many hit songs during that era; but they remain together today and are still touring and releasing albums.

ZZ Top est un groupe de rock originaire du Texas (ville de El Paso) aux USA, qui a connu le sommet de sa célébrité pendant les années 1970 et 1980. Les membres de ce trio sont Billy Gibbons (chant et guitare), Dusty Hill (chant et basse) et Frank Beard (batterie).  Le groupe a pris ce nom comme un pari, il s'agissait pour eux que leurs albums soient toujours les derniers dans les bacs à disques (vinyls, à l'époque) chez tous les disquaires. En effet, le classement dans ces bacs, était alphabétique.

the lead is simply an improvisation around the B pentatonic scale which you can pretty easily figure out from listening to the record

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush

(Verse)
Em              G                                     
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Licking up their lollipops
A           C
No one ever interrupts
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Playing with their teddy bears
A                 C      Em
talking 'bout the rising fares
Em              G                            
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Whistling to their favorite song
A                  C
Dancing, laughing, all night long
Em              G                             
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares 
D
Praying to the morning sun 
A                  C      Em
Talking with their golden tongue

(Pre-chorus)
      G            D      Em  
And I wished I was one of them
      G            D      Em
And I wished I was one of them

(Chorus)
    C                            G
I'd love to be a millionaire, I wished I had a golden mare
    D                                  Em
And I would waste my precious time, by looking for the perfect rime
C                           G
Life is easy, life is good, it would be like Hollywood
   D            C      Em
If I could be a millionaire

(Verse)
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
      D
There was a wave, that killed 
             A            C
Them all and now the lollipops are gone
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Travelling to the Nowhere-Land
A                     C     Em
Where nasty pleasures never end

(Pre-chorus)
      G            D      Em 
And I wished I was one of them 
      G            D      Em
And I wished I was one of them

(Bridge)
    Em          D               Em        D              Em           
Hey tell me how can it be, that money can set you free,  tell me 
    D               C         D
How can it be, that money can set you

Em          D               Em        D              Em           
Tell me how can it be, that money can set you free,  tell me 
    D               C         D
How can it be, that money can set you,  
C         D        Em
Money can set you free

(Chorus)
    C                            G
I'd love to be a millionaire, I wished I had a golden mare
    D                                  Em
And I would waste my precious time, by looking for the perfect rime
C                           G
Life is easy, life is good, it would be like Hollywood
   D            C      Em
If I could be a millionnaire
        D            C      Em
If only I could be a millionaire

Hunting For Witches

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

Out Of The Darkness

Intro: G-Am-Em-C-D


G Am Em
Cortar el aire
C D G
Zumbando sin caer,
Am Em C D G
En cada vuelo que consigo algo me hace ver
Am Em C D Em D
Que abajo sin gasolina ella no funciona,
Am Bm
No arranca no funciona,
Em D Am Bm
Para el desierto cruje el lugar y arde el cielo.
Em D
Tiembla el suelo en cada huella,
Am Bm C-D
Cada culpa sin culpar.

Intermedio: G-Am-Em-C-D

G Am Em
Volver a tiempo,
C D G
No es fácil renacer,
Am Em C D G
En cada intento que consigo algo me hace ver
Am Em C D Em D
Que un árbol contra la fuerza de ella no funciona,
Am Bm
No arranca no funciona,
Em
Sigue el desierto,
D Am Bm
Cruje el lugar y arde el cielo
Em D
Tiembla el suelo en cada huella,
Am Bm
Cada culpa sin culpar
Em D
Tiembla el suelo en cada huella,
Am Bm C-D
Cada culpa sin culpar
